everything you've written for 2013 is the assumption the fiscal cliff does get solved. does that mean solved by december 31st? does that incorporate the idea maybe it gets pushed down to middle 2013? that is an underlying assumption you make. what is the real basis of that? >> so the precedent of the last two years is that negotiations continue until late, mid to late december. so you go back two years ago after the 2010 elections. there was an extension of the bush tax cuts. there was decided on december 17th. a year ago in terms of the payroll tax cut that was extended on december 23rd. so three weeks from today is december 21st. if you're looking for a day that is sort of the time period. if you're going to get something that would be about the time. obviously experts, my colleagues in washington, d.c. will give more details but from a strategic perspective there is a near term and longer-term path. the economy is getting better slowly. housing is getting better. there are forecasts in terms of the cash companies will spend. they'll spend over a trillion dollars next

there will be some panic and moaning and groaning, but first of all, the fiscal cliff is not a real cliff. it's a slope. and you're going to get the biggest bank for the buck in terms of deficit reduction. i think the economy can stand it. yes, we will go into two quarters of recession the cbo says, and i believe that. we're in deep trouble here. somebody's going to have to pay the bill. it's going to have to be all of us. >> joining me with more on all of this, patrick j. buick as well as former clinton special counsel davis. the president campaigns on $800 billion in new taxes. he now wants 1.6 trillion. he wants twice the amount, lanny. he wants a blank check and congress to give up its authority as it relates to money and say no, no, let me raise the debt ceiling any time i want. he wants 150 billion in new stimulus but no entitlement cuts at all, no spending cuts at all. now that sounds to me like somebody that's not serious. >> i don't know where to begin to correct some of what you just said, but let me at least start with ronald ra reagan. >> tell me where i'm wrong. >> you're cer
